A Harm Reduction Model
Addiction and Recovery Services

Our addiction and recovery services operate on a harm reduction model in keeping with our ethos and values.

We offer pragmatic, dignified responses to the needs of people engaging in drug misuse.  At present, Peter McVerry Trust’s Addiction and Recovery Services include a Drug Stabilisation and Recovery Service, a Residential Community Detox Service, and a Residential Drug-Free Aftercare Accommodation Service.

All services are based in Dublin, however, the Residential Community Detox is a national centre and works with people from across Ireland.

Residential Community Detox Service

This service caters for individuals who are going through detox from methadone and those wishing to cease their use of cannabis, cocaine or alcohol.

 

A pre-admission referral and case management system is in operation, and post-placement progression is supported by way of a key working system and established pathways to recognised day and residential treatment providers. This service operates with full clinical governance from the HSE.
